CJ - Portrait Photographer

Hello, I'm CJ

I'm a portrait photographer who believes that every person has a story worth telling. Inspired by projects like Humans of New York, I approach photography as a way to connect with people and share their authentic experiences.

My work focuses on capturing genuine moments and real emotions. I'm drawn to the everyday extraordinary - the quiet strength in someone's eyes, the joy in an unguarded smile, the stories written on weathered hands.

Every portrait session is a conversation. I listen as much as I photograph, because the best images emerge when people feel truly seen and heard.

My Approach

  • Authentic connection over posed perfection
  • Stories that accompany each portrait
  • Natural light and candid moments
  • Celebrating the beauty in every face

The Stories

Each photograph in my portfolio is paired with a story - words shared by the person in the frame. These stories are what transform a portrait into something meaningful.
